Contest! Win Tickets to See 'Truth' Across Canada! (Contest closed)

Cate Blanchett delivers another award-calibre performance in
Truth! (TIFF review here.) Blanchett
stars as award-winning journalist/producer Mary Mapes and plays alongside
Robert Redford as Dan Rather in this timely dramatization of the story behind
Mapes/Rather’s fall after following a lead to expose President Bush’s war
record. Truth opens in theatres
October 30th from eOne Films,
but readers across Canada can attend a sneak peek! Answer the trivia below for
a chance to win!

Synopsis: Truth is an independent feature film
based on the book “Truth and Duty” by Mary Mapes. In the vein of All The President’s Men and The Insider, it is the incredible true
story of Mary Mapes (played by Cate Blanchett), an award-winning CBS News
Journalist and Dan Rather’s producer, who broke the Abu-Ghraib prison abuse
story, among others. The film chronicles the story Mapes and Rather uncovered
that a sitting US president may have been AWOL from the United States National
Guard for over a year during the Vietnam War. When the story blew up in their
face, the ensuing scandal ruined Dan Rather’s career, nearly changed a US
Presidential election, and almost took down all of CBS News in the process.

Thanks to eOne Films,
